Chapter Ninety-Two: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
In addition to the 'Outer Six Armies', the Forbidden Army also has the Inner Five Armies, including the Pro-Guard Army, the Left and Right Xun Guards, and the Left and Right Yi Guards, as well as the soldiers of the Three Guards and Three Prefectures under the East Palace, all of which are collectively referred to as the 'Inner Army' and are stationed inside and outside the Imperial City.
The Inner Five Armies were originally directly under the jurisdiction of the Left and Right Yiwei Mansions, but after that, the Son of Heaven felt that the powers and responsibilities of the Left and Right Yiwei generals were too heavy, so in addition to assigning the Leopard Cavalry Army under the jurisdiction of the Left and Right Reserve Mansions to the Left and Right Yiwei, on the basis of the pro-guard army and the left and right Xun Guards, the Left and Right Reserve Mansions and the Left and Right Prison Mansions were rebuilt.
If it comes, although General Yiwei is still the head of the military generals of the Great Sui, his authority has been excluded from the palace.
Therefore, Li Shimin, although he belongs to the left and right reserves, is also a member of the pro-guard army. And his position of 'preparation' also has the nickname of personal servant and gongcao.
"I'm not asking about that. ”
Li Shimin thought to himself, at this time, where do you need to worry about their safety?
"I don't know what clues can you find out about the person who embroidered the clothes?"
"You may not believe it, but there's nothing to be gained over there. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's expression was slightly weird: "Not long ago, Gonggong Tang was reprimanded. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but look suspicious: "This is impossible, right?" Or is it that the embroidered clothes guard is unwilling to startle the snake. ”
He didn't believe the words of Changsun Wuji, before those people fled, they left a lot of wounded on the battlefield, and some foot soldiers did not have time to escape, and were captured or killed by the two hundred iron cavalry of the leopard cavalry. In addition, the armor and weapons all over the ground are also a clue, and you can get clues to the traitor by tracing their source.
In addition, it is also difficult to get rid of the Ouroboros tracking of the embroidered guard.
"The problem is, all of those captives died of poison shortly after you entered the prison, and none of them survived."
When the eldest grandson Wuji said this, he saw the shock and incomprehension in Li Shimin's eyes, and he smiled bitterly and said: "These people have all taken poison pills before, and they are highly poisonous wrapped in special beeswax. If it can be done this time, these people will be safe and sound. But if there is a discord, it only takes one or two magicians to trigger it with spiritual power, and they can be poisoned and killed instantly. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he already gasped: "Then how did they get rid of the tracking of the embroidered guards?"
"They fled into the mountain, and then with the help of the flying wings of the trap, they broke away directly from the air, apparently having already arranged a retreat. ”
When the eldest grandson Wuji said this, his expression was condensed: "I have a lot of acquaintances in the embroidery guard, although it is a matter of confidentiality, I can't ask anything." But just looking at their expressions and words, I know that the clues found by the embroidery guards this time are afraid that there are few and few. All Virusha you, you must be very careful in the future. If the mastermind fails to obey the law this time, you, the one who spoiled his plan, must be a thorn in the flesh of that person's side. ”
Li Shimin is also in a heavy mood, and he will not say anything like 'what to fear'.
Since the other party is able to make such a big deal, it can be seen how huge its power inside and outside the government and the opposition is. And he, Li Shimin, although he is a member of the martial arts Li family, after this incident, he will definitely be rewarded by the imperial court, and promotion is a sure thing.
But in the face of such a behemoth, he, Li Shimin, is still as weak and powerless as an ant.
This time, I was careless, and I got into a terrible disaster-
But despite this, Li Shimin has no regrets. He had no choice but to fight back or crane his neck and wait for the thieves to cut off his head.
So even if he went back half a day ago, he would still do it, and he would never hesitate.
But then, how to save your life is a question. Li Shimin doesn't care much about fame and fortune, but he still cares about his little life.
He also wants to create a divine armor with his own hands, and wants to try to climb to the top of the martial arts, but if this life is gone, then he can't do anything.
Just when Li Shimin began to calculate, he saw that at the door of his tent, a little girl in luxurious clothes walked in directly with the tent. Behind this woman, there was a large retinue of men and women, but because of the limited space in the tent, they were all left outside.
"Little princess?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes showed doubt. I thought to myself, what is this girl doing here, it's all this time, and she still wants to make a prank?
However, he was puzzled, but he was still ready to get up and salute. Yang Ying waved her sleeves generously: "You are injured, you don't need to salute." ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately stopped. He was reluctant to salute this little girl who only knew how to be mischievous, but his actions were extremely decisive at this time.
Yang Ying couldn't help but be angry when she saw this, but she didn't bother with Li Shimin, she only snorted lightly, and took a porcelain bottle from the hand of an attendant behind her and put it in front of Li Shimin: "This is Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, specially for you to ask the White Horse Temple for the Eight Refining Great Pill and Yang Refining Intermittent Cream, she asked you to take care of your injuries, don't worry about the rest." ”
Li Shimin was immediately moved, Da Huan Dan is a secret medicine inherited from Buddhism, which is dedicated to repairing internal injuries. Among them, there is a difference between one refining and nine refining, and the higher the refining number, the better the effect of the elixir. And when it reaches the level of five refining or above, it is no longer limited to internal injuries. It is also said to have great benefits for the cultivation of true yuan and spiritual power. And above the eight turns, it can even improve the qualifications, greatly strengthen the body, and increase the effect of qi. As for the Nine Refining Great Returning Pill, the preciousness of this medicine is no less than the 'Five Elements Xuanyuan Pill' that he treasured.
Li Shimin estimated that after taking this Nine Alchemy Pill, he could at least increase his strength by a thousand catties, and the amount of true yuan would increase by one to two grades.
It's a pity that there are not many of these secret medicines, and there are not many of them in the White Horse Temple, which is basically the ancestral court of Buddhism.
"Her Royal Highness the Queen is very loving, and the last general will be remembered for five!"
Li Shimin's expression was condensed and he bowed to Yang Ying. This worship is not to worship Yang Ying, but to the Empress Xiao represented by the latter.
As for the Eight Refining Great Returning Pills, he was honest and unkind, and accepted it with a smile.
There is no reason to push this kind of good thing outward. What's more, he is now facing a crisis, and he needs this kind of thing that can improve his strength.
Li Aiqing will bear great dangers for the birth and death of my heavenly family today. A little elixir is not enough to repay Aiqing's merits, this is the original words of my mother. ”
After Yang Ying finished saying this, she flicked her sleeves impatiently: "The medicine has been given to you, and I have also seen it, and the palace can return to the queen mother." ”
It's just that before she stepped out of the tent, she turned around with a blushing face: "What happened before, I did it wrong." Li Duyu is waiting for you to be a big man, don't worry about me. Also, this time you not only saved my mother and brother, but also saved this palace, thank you!"
After saying this, Yang Ying went straight out of the door.
Li Shimin was dumbfounded at first, and then laughed,
And after Yang Ying and his party stayed away, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but sigh: "It is said that Empress Xiao is virtuous, and it is true." Being able to decisively entrust the war to you at the moment of danger shows her wisdom in knowing people, and being able to sympathize and comfort you, a meritorious hero, afterwards, without seeing the slightest hypocrisy, can know her way of employing people. ”
"It is indeed heartbreaking!"
Li Shimin bowed slightly, and then stood up: "Let's go, I heard the neighing of horses outside, and it is estimated that I am going to move the camp." ”
Thousands of lives had already died in the place where they were now, and the smell of blood still lingered. And there is no clean water source, so it is indeed not a suitable place to camp.
※ ※ ※ ※
At the same time, it was thousands of miles away from the battlefield next to Luoshui. A purple and gold armor is looking at the south with astringent eyes.
After a long time, the person in the armor sighed softly: "I shouldn't have listened to you this time, if I had decided to make a desperate bet in advance, at any cost, or today's result would be very different." I guess that's what it's called taking a big deal and giving it to you, right?"
"Is the lord regretting it?"
The young man in white next to him was pale and shook his head slightly: "But I think now that I am fortunate not to be like this today." It must be known that at that time, in addition to Dong Chun, there were also two dragon blood war puppets built by the first emperor with heavy money, and their strength was comparable to that of a 10,000-level martial artist. My lord, even if you use the Divine Armor, what if you use it, you won't be able to get what you want. ”
"It's all that guy's bad deeds! If you hadn't stopped me, I would have killed him at that time, and I would have beheaded that man under the knife!"
The Qingjia warrior snorted angrily, and his voice was hoarse and cold: "I don't know where the character came from, and he dares to disrupt the lord's affairs! If I find out the identity of this guy, I will definitely make him pay the price! To comfort my three thousand comrades, the undead under the Nine Springs." ”
Those who died on the banks of Luoshui in this battle, although they were all dead soldiers. But after all, he personally trained and performed, and he couldn't be indifferent.
"After today, there will be rumors in Luoyang City, and it is best to calm down and not act rashly. ”
When the purple gold armor said this, he said with a quiet gaze: "But you are right about one thing, the identity of that person needs to be found out as soon as possible." I also want to know now, who is the person who made my 3,000 dead soldiers sink into the sand and become a failure! Is it the second son of the Li family in the mouth of the Dharma Master?"
Although he shot at Li Shimin before, the latter was dressed in full armor and did not show his face, and he could not judge the identity of this person.
"This matter is very easy to investigate, and if you ask people to ask about the left and right reserves, you can know the details. But now the identity of this person is actually irrelevant. ”
The white-robed young man had a solemn face and saluted towards the purple gold battle armor: "At the moment, the top priority of the lord is to return to Luoyang as soon as possible." I guess at this time, the edict summoning the lord to the White Horse Temple has been sent to the mansion. ”
When the latter heard this, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the capital.
Although he got rid of the embroidered clothes guard at this time, it was not an easy thing to return to Luoyang without revealing the slightest clue under the latter's layers of nets.
